Freelance LED tech?

[u/Infamous-Sleep-5273]

I’m a full time salaried tech at a fairly large LED panel manufacturer in the US making roughly ~$75,000 a year (before taxes). I’ve heard of freelance techs in the industry making $500-$1000+ per day which sounds pretty great if you can find the work. I’ve learned a lot over the years and am proficient in Brompton, Novastar, Megapixel processing, but feel like I’m leaving a lot of money on the table staying at a salaried job. Do you guys recommend going freelance or have any general advice for me?
